TOY WAGON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 246,412, dated August30, 1881,

Application filed January 24, 1881.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN MURRAY, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Toy Wagon, of which the followingis a specification.

Figure l is a sectional side elevation of my improvement, takenthroughthe line aa, Fig. 2; and Fig. 2 is a plan View of theimprovement.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object ofthis invention is to furnish toy.

wagons carrying figures arranged to receive motion from the advance ofthe wagons.

The invention consists in constructing a toy wagon witha figure of adriver havingahinged body, and connected by a rod with acrank formedupon the forward axle, so that the movement of the wagon will give thefigure the appearance of whipping the horses; and also with a figure ofa boy connected with a crank formed upon the rear axle, so that themovement of the wagon will give the figure the appearance of j umping upat the rear end of the said wagon, as will be hereinafter fullydescribed.

A represents the wheels, B the axles, G the body, and D the driversseat, of a toy wagon.

To the drivers seat D and the forward endboard. of the wagon areattached the legs of a figure, E, representing a man. The body of thefigure E is hinged to the stationary legs, and one of the hands of thesaid figure E grasps the reins, and the other hand holds a whip.

To the lower part of the body of the figure E is pivoted the upper endof a rod, F, the lower end of which is pivoted to a crank, G, formedupon the forward axle B, so that the (No model.)

movement of the axle will cause the body of the figure to vibratebetween an erect and a forwardly-inclined position, as shown in dottedand full lines in Fig. 1, giving the said figure the appearance ofwhipping the horses.

Upon the rear axle B is formed a crank, H, to which is pivoted the feetof a figure, I, representing a boy. The legs and body of the figure Iare rigidly connected, but its arms are hinged to the body, and itshands are represented as grasping a rod, J, attached to the rear end ofthe wagon body 0. By this construction the figure I represents a boyhanging onto the rear end of the wagon, and the movement of the wagongives the figure the appearance of jumping up at the rear end of thewagon.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. In a toy wagon, the combination, with the forwardaxle B, having crank G, of the connecting-rod F, and figure E,substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the movement of thewagon will give the said figure the appearance of whipping the horses,as setforth.

2. In a toy wagon, the combination, with the rear axle B, having crankH, and the wagonbody (J, of the figure I, having hinged arms,substantially as herein shown and described, whereby the movement of thewagon will give the said figure the appearance of hanging on and jumpingup at the rear end of the wagon, as set forth.
